Chapter 674: Jiang Xuenan is Turning into a Sickly Sweetheart! (Seeking Followers)
All the beast girls had gone out, leaving the grand hall cold and empty.
A little head peeked out from the doorway; it was Jiang Xue'an, the human form of the Starry Sky Giant Beast, Jiang Xue'an.
Xiao Ye asked, "You're not going to cultivate?"
Jiang Xue'an's face turned sad, and tears nearly fell from her eyes.
"Master, it's been so long since you came to see me, I missed you."
"These days, I've spent all my time cultivating. Now my realm has already reached Star River Realm, Tier Six."
"Both mistresses have things to do on Blue Star, and they told me to keep cultivating. I feel so lonely."
Xiao Ye was surprised.
*Jiang Xue'an was actually at Star River Realm, Tier Six.*
*That realm far surpassed all the beast girls.*
*Even Mu Qingxue, with the Time Attribute, was only at Sovereign Realm, Tier Ten.*
Jiang Xue'an saw he didn't comfort her, and her eyes immediately turned red. Two streams of tears slid down her cheeks as she pitifully said,
"Master, my realm—it's all built up through years and years of cultivation. It's not something that came overnight."
"It took more than a million years."
She was enveloped in loneliness, with a realm so powerful, yet her heart felt so fragile right now.
*She seemed like a child desperately needing care and love from her family.*
Xiao Ye's expression softened, and he reached out to pat her head, smiling,
"If you miss us, just come find us."
"You've got two mistresses and me, your master; just stick with us."
Jiang Xue'an rubbed her head against Xiao Ye, obviously enjoying it. Her eyes curved into smiles, "Master, I like you so much."
"Actually, what I want isn't just Mistress and Master's company. I need comfort from you, Master."
"I also want to be your wife, just like those beast girls."
Xiao Ye was stunned.
*No wonder Jiang Xue'an didn't go to Gu Qingcheng or Fate Divine Spirit, but came straight to him.*
*Now this was tricky.*
*Jiang Xue'an's true form was a Starry Sky Giant Beast. Her human form was not her real body.*
*The emotions of a Starry Sky Giant Beast weren't like those of a human.*
*He, Xiao Ye, was human. He had no idea how to fulfill the emotional needs of a Starry Sky Giant Beast.*
*Exercise? That was just the most primitive desire.*
*Emotional needs were completely different.*
"Then what should I do,"
"so you won't feel lonely?"
he asked.
Jiang Xue'an exclaimed with delight, "Master, you want to keep me company?"
Xiao Ye nodded, "Of course I do."
Jiang Xue'an tilted her head, counting on her fingers as she said,
"I want Master to talk with me, cultivate with me, spar with me, and exercise with me."
"Master, that's a lot, isn't it too much work?"
Xiao Ye shook his head, "No way, that's just daily life for a pet."
"Chatting, cultivating, sparring, exercising."
"The only thing is, you're a Starry Sky Giant Beast with a human form."
Jiang Xue'an was overjoyed and bounced with happiness.
She pulled Xiao Ye into a villa not far away, pointed at the wall in the living room covered in photos, and laughed,
"Master, this wall is filled with photos of you, the mistresses, and Xiaonannan."
"I've recorded everything."
Xiao Ye stared at the wall covered in photos, feeling a bit stunned.
*There were actually tens of thousands of photos.*
*Some were from Sea Blue Star, some from out in the starry sky, but most were from Blue Star itself.*
*Among all these photos, over half were pictures of Xiao Ye himself.*
Xiao Ye glanced through them one by one, then suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, pointing at a photo, and said,
"Hold up, Jiang Xue'an, why did you take a picture of me peeing?"
"Were you secretly taking pictures of me?"
That photo only showed his back, but he could vaguely tell it caught the moment he was peeing.
Jiang Xue'an hunched her neck, forcing a smile as she said,
"Oh, actually, I come to Wilderness Base City all the time to see you whenever I'm not cultivating."
"That's the newest photo. I just wanted to document what Master was doing, and it turned out you were doing that."
"I only managed to snap that one in my hurry."
Xiao Ye said helplessly, "Fine, it's just my back. Whatever, take the picture if you want."
"There's so many photos in the living room. What about the bedroom?" he asked.
Jiang Xue'an instantly panicked, hurriedly waving her hands, "No way!"
"There are absolutely no private photos of Master in the bedroom. Please don't go look!"
Xiao Ye: ?
*She thoroughly denied it—was Jiang Xue'an really putting his private photos up in the bedroom?*
*Just how private were they?*
He pretended to be calm and smiled,
"All right, I won't look."
"I trust you."
"Phew~" Jiang Xue'an patted her chest.
*That was close, seriously close.*
*If Master saw those pictures in the bedroom, he'd definitely be mad.*
Xiao Ye sent out his divine sense and probed into the bedroom.
Sure enough, every wall in the bedroom was plastered with photos.
And all of those photos were of him, Xiao Ye!
Xiao Ye was shocked.
*Damn, there were actually all kinds of photos, even super private ones.*
*How private, exactly?*
*There were even shower photos.*
*All upper body photos, showing off his eight-pack abs and sharply defined muscles.*
*At least there were no lower body shots.*
*Not a single photo of him with his stuff showing.*
*There were photos of him sleeping in pajamas, eating, picking his nose, scratching his toes, scratching his itchy back, pictures where he had an embarrassed expression, or where his face clearly turned red...*
*In total, there were more than ten thousand photos!*
*Every one of them was a snapshot of his private life!*
Xiao Ye's face turned from blue to purple. Jiang Xue'an sensed his divine sense and suddenly covered her face with her hands, exclaiming,
"Ah!!"
"Master, I swear I didn't mean to take those photos in secret."
"I just can't help but keep thinking of you. I want to see you in your daily life and record what you're really like."
Xiao Ye sighed.
*This girl must be a bit sick in the head.*
*What could have made her so obsessive? She was actually crazily taking secret pictures like this.*
*This girl was a Star River Realm Great Power, rank far above his own. She'd only signed a master-servant contract with Gu Qingcheng, not with Xiao Ye himself. That's why, when Jiang Xue'an had taken the secret photos, he never noticed a thing.*
*Even though the one sneaking around was a little maid, just knowing there was always someone creeping around in the shadows, secretly photographing him in daily life, still gave Xiao Ye the creeps.*
His voice turned stern, and he shouted,
"Jiang Xue'an, what's your motivation for taking all these secret photos?"
Jiang Xue'an panicked instantly, her little face flustered, and she shrank back, stammering, "I—I want to be your wife, but I have no right. I can only secretly take your pictures to fill that need."
"Don't worry, Master, when you and the other ladies are exercising, I never peek. I always avoid it."
"I also didn't know you like to pee in the shower. You finish up in two minutes."
"?" Xiao Ye's mouth twitched.
*This girl really was obsessive.*
*Her motivation? She just wanted to be his wife.*
Xiao Ye said helplessly, "Jiang Xue'an, you don't want to be a little maid anymore? You just want to be a wife?"
"If you have needs, you can come to me whenever."
"I never really saw you as a servant anyway."
Jiang Xue'an nodded again and again, "I want to be your little maid and your wife too."
"Isn't that a bit greedy?"
Xiao Ye thought aloud, "What if I just pick a day to marry you? Throw a big, proper wedding for all to see."
"Just in time, you and the Time Empress can both marry me together. Then you'll have a proper title, and all this obsessive stuff should get better, right?"
Jiang Xue'an beamed, "Yes! Thank you, Master, for wanting to marry me."
She immediately dragged Xiao Ye into the bedroom, shouting crazily,
"Master, here I come!"
And off came her armor!
